‘Be All You Can Be’ and the TikTok Mutiny
With a recruiting slogan like “Be All You Can Be,” it’s no wonder the Army is enduring a “Tik Tok Mutiny.” When the military—a force built for the ruthless and concentrated application of mass violence—promises self-actualization to Generation Z, why should the country be surprised when those recruits revolt over a military lifestyle of sacrifice and service?

Disturbing Behavior of Idaho Elementary Teacher Ignored for Years by School Administrators
Parents of elementary students in a rural Idaho school district have been complaining about an Idaho teacher who sexualizes musical instruction. Parents claim the inappropriate behavior occurred for years before the Nampa School District started an investigation into the teacher. The music teacher, Tony Bradshaw, is still on paid leave even six months after a recent firestorm of well-documented allegations and "years of reports ignored by past principles."
Death of a Statesman
In 2010, when he was under investigation for the notorious all-night parties that briefly brought the expression “bunga bunga” into most of the languages of Western Europe, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, then 74, remarked that chasing teenage girls around at his age might not be to everyone’s liking, but it had an upside: “It beats being gay.” Two years had passed since he had opined, during a news conference in Moscow, that he and Russian premier Dmitri Medvedev would have an easy time working with the newly elected American president, Barack Obama, who was “young, handsome, and tanned.” By then, people had nearly forgotten that time in 2002 when Berlusconi had made the two-fingered cuckold gesture behind Spanish foreign minister Josep Piqué during a group photo...
Often divided Supreme Court shows unity in protecting this fundamental right
While left-wing attacks on the Supreme Court continue, the justices demonstrated again last week that simple partisan categories cannot explain their work. In Tyler v. Hennepin County, the court unanimously agreed that the right to property continues even when the government seizes land to recover a tax debt...
The Limits of Administrative Power
An unmoored FTC shows the wisdom of limiting administrative power. Congress never considered that the selling of lawfully acquired data for lawful purposes could be considered “unfair.” In many ways, Kochava’s selling of these data helps consumers by allowing companies to send relevant advertisements—information that consumers are likely to want. Our laws are supposed to reflect our wishes, as enacted through our representatives in Congress. Rule by unaccountable ideologues doesn’t meet that test...

The Formidable Candidacy of Joe Biden
Is Joe Biden beatable in 2024? Forget the gnawing apprehension on the right that the Democratic Party has figured out how to bend election results in its favor. Ignore the looming question of who is to be the Republican Party nominee. All else being equal, is Joe Biden too formidable a candidate for conservatives to defeat?
Fertility Rates Are Doomed, So You’ve Got To Do Your Part
This is a real crisis eating away at the fleeting fertility of young women — and men. The inability of young-ish Americans to build financial security is a key reason they aren’t reproducing. Dating apps and porn are cheap and immediate, and kids cost money, so the urgency of waning fertility dissipates. The death of despair is real, only it’s not just the adults’ death; it is the death of future generations who die with them...
